Wordcount allows you to browse the 88,000 most frequently
used English words. You can search for words 4 different ways:

1) Search by name. Enter a word by name into the
"Find Word" box and press enter, or click the gray arrow
next to the box

2) Search by rank. Enter a word rank into the "By
Rank" box and press enter, or click the gray arrow next to
the box

3) Search within the entire language. The gray
graph that stretches across the whole screen represents the entire
English language. By clicking any point on the graph, you will be
taken to the word that corresponds to that point. A great way to
browse the language!

4) Move forward/back one word at a time. To browse
the language word by word, use the "Previous Word" and
"Next Word" buttons at the top of the screen.

At all times, the red "Current Word" slider adjusts to
represent the currently chosen word's place in the English language.
Try typing your name -- how popular are you?
